The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning folks,
Another book finished. I’m reading a lot more and it’s good to get away from the laptop screen. Woke up to the sound of a cup of coffee being placed on my bedside cabinet by Mrs Tenkaykev, I’d slept so deeply I missed the alarm.
On the topic of smoking, it’s 40 years this year that I packed up. Must have saved a fortune over the years.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍☕️

I recorded a series on BBC 2 last night called Univese with prof Brian Cox. I do like him.

Morning all

Not much to do today except go down to the village for a bit of shopping.
Rain forecast later.
How has the budget affected everyone? We should be about £10 worse off according to the calculator I just used. I can live with that.

Not really sure how the budget has affected us, MrsP has the car, so the fuel duty not going up is good for her, but the price of fuel has gone up a lot recently.
The 3 pence off a pint will be swallowed up by the landlords and pub co's, so drinkers won't see that. As energy prices are soaring the prices are bound to go up to reflect the higher costs of producing ales and lager. So the treasury gets extra revenue because of higher prices.

I watched the program about the volcano's last night, very interesting, I liked the bit where he was abseiling into the crater of an active volcano, he turned to the camera and said this will be my first abseil.

As an ex railwayman, PNR stands for Physical Needs Relief.
Ie, toilet break. Driver needs to get off the train.

Sorry classic I did work in the travel industry, but wrong answer .
Paulus I should have excluded you from the quiz.

Good morning all, very wet overnight, more forecast for today and tomorrow. Still mild though.

I’ve got no idea how the Westminster budget will affect us here, so many swings and roundabouts, can’t believe a word any of the parties have to say on it.

Morning. I looked in when I first got up but couldn't be bothered posting. Drizzly walk done but still very mild. Had to wear the head torch for the first couple of miles until daylight broke through. Grabbed some milk from the Co-op on the way home and will pop back round later for more stuff.

Today's excitement is a hair cut at 2pm.

 

[numbnuts]

I'm up too

As budgets go it could have been a lot worse considering how much Covid19 has cost us.

I like his programs too. He explains everything in a way that everyone can understand. He is 53 now and still look very young. I went to see him in Manchester about 18 months ago when he gave a lecture . The arena was packed.
